The 1st Annual Life On The Wicked Stage Ink Blot Awards

I created The Life On The Wicked Stage Ink Blot Awards as a celebration. Yes, it's a celebration of the 1 year anniversary of this blog. But it is more than that. It is a celebration of a community that I have come to know and admire. The Tableteers that make up the Tablet PC Community are an amazing collection of individuals who know and work with the Tablet PC platform. They are fiercely protective of it, insatiably curious about advancing it, very intelligent, often wickedly funny, at one time very forgiving and patient, and in the same breath, scathingly critical when the need arises. They are also exceedingly willing to evangelize the platform to anyone who will listen, and in my humble opinion, have helped keep the spotlight on The Tablet PC in ways that may, in the long run, prove to be responsible for keeping the platform thriving.

There are no rules for inclusion on the list other than mine own and basically they boil down to what has struck my fancy throughout the last year. Some of the entries are for true "best of breed" entries. Some are just for fun. Some may say that this "best of" list has too many categories and far too many winners. My answer? Go make your own list. There's much to celebrate here.

So without any further delay take the jump and enjoy the 1st Annual Life On The Wicked Stage Ink Blot Awards.

Best Jump The Gun On A Tablet PC MVP Announcement Whether Knowingly Or Not: Robert Scoble

Correction: There are too many member of the First Family Of Tablet PCs with a first name beginning with L. Layne, not Loren should receive the Ink Blot for Best Simple Reminder of Why I Use A Tablet PC. Thanks for the correction.
